Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Feels unread with only minor light shelf wear. This is the compelling story of 'the longest day', 6 June 1944 - D-Day - and the fighting that followed, told in the voices of those who were there. First-hand testimonies from French citizens and from soldiers on both sides, include classic accounts by leaders such as Rommel and Bradley and frontline reports by some of the world's finest authors and war correspondents, including Ernest Hemingway. Much of the writing is brutally honest, revealing the harsh reality behind the romanticised vision of D-Day that has become widely accepted.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. 9781845299477. Unread copy. The samurai were the embodiemtn of the Japanese Martial tradition. From humble beginnings as frontiersmen and border guards, they rose in power to become the true rulers of Japan, with an ideology based on military strategy and chilling battlefied aesthetics. This new study includes their greatest battles and worst defeats, their wars and weaponry, tradition and etiquette, and their transformation from hired swords to kingmakers, from Buddhis warlords to Christian soldiers. The author examines samurai facts and fictions, since a warrior society inevitably retells great battles, dramatizes heroic deeds, and aspires to a code of ethics rooted in tall tales and romanticized conflict. Looking beyond the end of Japan's civil wars in the 17th century, his fascinating history reveals the rise and fall of a samurai society in which the victorious Shogun had nobody left to fight. A closing chapter examines the shadow of the samurai in modern times, as heroes, villains, and mirrors to the Japanese soul. 356 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

A little minor spotting. Bindings rubbed, extremities worn, several joints splitting (but all sound). Armorial bookplates of Alexander Grant to front pastedowns, over that of James Webster, small bookseller?s stamp of Williams Library Cheltenham to verso of flyleaves. A complete set of ?Ballantyne?s Novelist?s Library?, a commercially unsuccessful but critically important step in the development of the canon of English prose fiction. Following a suggestion by John Murray and the production of Barbauld?s ?The British Novelists? of 1810, Walter Scott had considered the possibility of a compilation of novels but did not formally initiate the project until his friend and business partner John Ballantyne was on his deathbed a decade later. Unlike Barbauld?s project, which had selected individual novels of merit, Scott put the authors front and centre, reprinting the majority of the works of Fielding, Smollett, Richardson, Radcliffe, etc. - plus a few miscellaneous inclusions. Scott further contributed prefatory essays for each of the 15 authors, bringing the model of Johnson?s Lives of the Poets to the newer literary form. Later collected as The Lives of the Novelists, they form ?one of the most important bodies of novel criticism in English? (Corman, Women Novelists before Jane Austen, p. 39) - or at the very least, a significant early contribution to the treatment of the novel as worthy of criticism. The ?Library? petered out after 10 volumes due to slow sales and the loss of John Ballantyne?s support after his death in 1821 - some also thought the small, double-column type an obstacle to success - and is now scarce to find complete.…

xvi, 32 pp. Disbound, blank inner margin stab holes, lightly toned and lightly worn. Good+. The Sermons are preceded by a long dedication to Lord North, dated 'New Year's Day 1774' at page x. ESTC records two other London editions, one in 1774 and the other in 1775. In America, printings issued from Philadelphia and Norwich CT in 1774. Ours is evidently the first. Scott's dedication charges Lord North with "all those evils, distresses, grievances, and oppressions, which have befallen this poor, unfortunate Kingdom, not long after the year One thousand seven hundred sixty," when George III ascended to the throne. "Oh England! how art thou fallen! and how shamefully and basely corrupted are thy sons and daughters from their primitive piety, virtue, and integrity!" Corruption in the Church and in Politics, and the absence of religion and virtue call for "A NATIONAL REPENTANCE AND REFORMATION." Adams, American Controversy 73-13a. Sabin 78384.
